The reason why I noted the boolean search was because of the cgi-wrapper I
mentioned previously.  The people I created the search function for
specifically wanted an interface with a free text, a phrase and a boolean
search.  For the 'phrase' search the cgi-wrapper simply puts quotes around
the search string before sending it to htsearch.  The method (as you pointed
out) that is sent to htsearch shouldn't matter (ie just putting quotes
around a query will automatically make it a 'phrase' search).

So, I just set the method used to boolean, because it shouldn't have made a
difference.  Unfortunately when I tested it the search was failing on the
query "test and destroy".  However, when I set the method to use to "and"
instead of "boolean" everything was okay.  That means that my 'phrase'
search is okay, but I still thought I should report the problem just in
case.

I'll update as soon as I am able and let you know if I still get any of the
symptoms.

Again, thanks for your help with this.
